Where are they?

And why haven't we found them yet?

Three statements:
  • 100 million planets scattered in galaxies throughout the universe are home to life, have been home to life in the past, or will be home to life at some point in the future.
  • There is no life on any planet other than Earth; there never has been and there never will be. We spin through the universe alone. When Earth reaches its unavoidable end, life will have been extinguished, everywhere and for ever.
  • There is life on one other planet. It’s so far away from us that we will never be able to make contact, never mind visit. What form does this life take? Is it intelligent? If so, does it look like us or is it so utterly different that we would be appalled merely to look at it? We don’t know, and we never will.
 
Three possibilities. And we don’t have a clue which (if any) is correct. No wonder the search for life on other planets and speculation about what it would be like has so many in its grip! We’ve been looking, and looking, and looking – and we haven’t found a trace.
 
Does that mean there’s nothing there? Or does it mean that we’re not looking in the right way, or the right place, or we don’t yet have the technology for effective search? If life – intelligent life – exists elsewhere, where is it? Why have we not found it, and why has it not found us?
